NHL's Comp Provider Being Proactive, Where Does the NFLPA Stand on This?

the nervous system and the bone striking the

temporal lobe of the brain, increasing the

symptoms of dizziness, the sensation of

seeing stars and headaches commonly known

as a “ding.”

The Maher Mouth Guard specifically

helps reduce the chances of suffering from a

concussion from a blow to the jaw – helmet

improvement focuses only on cerebral

concussion or “blows to the crown.” Patriot players who wear it, have a documented history of less lost time due to this injury.

The construction of the articulated

retainer-like Maher mouth guard, with the

prescribed thickness and temporomandibular

joint (TMJ) alignment was developed with

world champion boxers to correct “Glass

Jaw” syndrome found to be temporal

mandible disorder or TMD.

This individually-fitted patent-pending

mouth guard, as well as wearing properly

fitted protective head gear and chin straps,

allows for the utmost protection from

dangerous head trauma. In fact, most pro

players who have had a history of recurrent

concussions have halted any future events,

even while wearing old-style non-concussion

specific-designed helmets.

Non-corrective common custom-made or

boil-and-bite mouth guards reduce

neuropsychological deficits but do nothing to

identify and correct disharmony in the jaw

joint. They only “lock” the jaw into a

susceptible negative position.

Duffy’s articles in the Examiner.com and

Huffington Post center on the questions

surrounding the tentative interest by the NFL

to study Dr. Maher’s product, which is already

successfully used by the New England

Patriots, as shown in an online ESPN article. Maybe they should take a closer look at their books and this mouth guard,  when considering future mandate in the prevention of concussion

Numerous high school and college

athletes, individual NFL players and a number

of boxing, hockey and lacrosse professionals

have been relieved of recurrent concussion

due to the Maher Mouth Guard.
